I'm having trouble exporting my first APK in eclipse. When I click on finish, I get the message: No build tools installed in the SDK.
I've googled the problem but all the results say that i have to install Android SDK Tools, but I have it and it's been updated (22.0.1).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I have ALL the packages installed but still the same error.
Ubuntu 12.04
Eclipse 3.8.0
JDK 7
From version 22 forward the build tools is a separate package. Open then Android SDK Manager and check Android SDK Build-tools and click install. The package will download and you'll be able to export/build.
If eclipse is pointing to the wrong Android SDK it won't find the build tools. If you're sure you installed the right build tools, it may be that eclipse is pointed to the wrong directory. So if you're on windows, in eclipse, goto Window -> Preferences -> Android, and check the field in "SDK Location" eclipse is looking for the build tools in a subdirectory of that folder. Goto that folder and run the SDK Tools.exe and install everything in that GUI and it should work. Otherwise, change the path to your other SDK installation.
Here's a kinda same tutorial for Mac:
Add SDK to eclipse and no Target

Maybe a simple question but i can't seem to get it fixed.
I want to Build my Application (for android)
After i connected the SDK and JDK path's i press build
The following message pops up.
I had the same problem.
fixed it by downgrading the sdk tools.
Delete android sdk "tools" folder
: [Android SDK root]/tools -> tools
Download SDK Tools:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip
Extract the folder to Android SDK root
Build your project
found it:
Download tools r25.2.5
Google
Change your tools folder to toolsXXXX (because you need it for Android studio)
unzip the tools r25.2.5 in the SDK location
Works fine now. probably something with an update...
I downloaded Eclipse Luna, started it then went to install new software
https://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.4
Downloaded all of the plugins, but nothing for Androids SDK appeared.
When I start Eclipse it says I need to update my Android SDK location preferences.
Could I get some assistance as to where to find it in my eclipse directory, or where to download the ADT package. Previous versions have included ADT within it, but I've failed to find a version of Luna that does.
Thanks
The only Eclipse Version with ADT incluced is Juno yet.
You can try to download the single ADT-Plugin in Eclipse: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
If you have the Android SDK installed you also have to add the directories "tools" and "platform-tools" to your environment path.
When I'm creating an android project in eclipse juno version, It throws error like this The tools need to be updated via the SDK Manager. Please Help me
You probably haven't pointed Eclipse to your android-sdk folder yet.
In Eclipse, go to Preferences -> Android -> then in the SDK location text box, browse through your android-sdk folder.
The problem is that your platform/sdk tools are incompatible with the version of ADT eclipse plugin you have installed. Most likely, the plugin is updated, and the tools are not.
This is why you need to update the tools using the SDK manager.
None of the above worked for me. I had to "delete" SDK Build tools packages and then re-install the packages. After doing that, I could now create a new android project.
When I open up Eclipse it tells me that my SDK tools are out of date. Eclipse says my current version is 17 and I can update it to 20. This is a lie; when I open the SDK Manager, my SDK tool are 20.0.1. But when I open up the SDK Manager VIA Eclipse, the SDK tools change to version 17. I already looked at Eclipse: won't let me use Android SDK, wrongly claims my ADT is out of date but it still wouldn't work. I deleted Eclipse and started fresh by downloading Eclipse and installing the Android repository(ADT) to Eclipse. No luck, still tells me SDK tools are 17. So I decided to play along and clicked "Open the SDK Manager" window in Eclipse. The Manager popped up and clicked "install 1 package" (SDK Tool). Halfway through, it stops and says the android-sdk/tools directory is locked by java.exe and cmd.exe so I opened Windows Task Manager and ended the "java.exe" process. And what do you know? My Android SDK Manager Windows just closed. How the am I was supposed update the SDK Tools if the SDK Manager is going to interfere with itself?
Had similar problem. My answer was update ADT Plugin for Eclipse (Help->Check for Updates). Restart Eclipse.
None of the above worked for me. I had to "delete" SDK Build tools packages and then re-install the packages. After doing that, I could now create a new android project.
For most, a simple update of build tool to required version suffice. As often happens, Android SDK Build-tools with compatible version is not installed.
Turns out, Eclipse was looking for the SDK Tools in the wrong place. Eclipse was looking for the tool in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
The ACTUAL TOOLS was in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
The SDK Manager will tell you where the tools are. You can tell Eclipse in the preferences (under the Windows) to look in that directory.
Which android sdk should be downloaded with eclipse galileo 3.5 version. and what ADT Plugin should be installed? i downloaded android sdk 1.6 and initially installed adt 0.7 plugin but it said adt needs to be updated. but now when im trying to update the adt to 16 it shoes the following error:
Your original request has been modified.
"Android Development Tools" is already installed, so an update will be performed instead.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)
Missing requirement: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime 3.6.0' but it could not be found

you can see ADT 16.0.0+ requires Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6), so I think you need ADT 15.0.1
Doing a quick search i found this:
how to install android sdk on eclipse 3.5
You download the SDK for your OS.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you use windows, I recommend the exe file for you.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
You can download the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/
index.html.
Once the SDK is downloaded, unzip its content (the android-sdk-windows folder)
into the C:\Android\ folder, or whatever name you have given to the folder you just
created.
Once Eclipse is up and running, select the Help >> Install New Software
In the Install window that appears, type http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse in the text and click Add
You may reinstall the eclipse by the following steps
Install jre7 with Netbeans
install eclipse
install ADT
in the step 3, you are asked to install Android SDK version by which package. click the top option
